Research

Making new discoveries

At the Centre for Emotions and Health, we place a strong emphasis on researching the emotional effects of traumatized or interrupted human attachments (long-term interpersonal relationships, like between a parent and child, or between spouses), and on finding new ways to effectively treat the resulting symptoms.

We treat these symptoms using a brief form of psychotherapy called Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). Using ISTDP, we’re able to view psychological disorders through the lens of attachment.
